Ubuntu under the spotlight

I have always wondered this.

Ubuntu, it is generally well known, as being behind Windows Vista or 7 in
the sales department, possibly on a scale of about 50-1. Normally, sales
indicate popularity on a product. We can also assume from these figures
that volume of sales could also indicate a certain quality of that product.

Therefore, on that assumption, the 50-1 deficit that Ubuntu lags behind in
the sales department, is possibly not even the 2nd best nor even the 3rd or
4th best OS come to think of it.

I therefore pondered on this question. Why on earth should I settle for
second best, let alone third or fourth best?

If they can afford it, most people in life want the best. That is why I
will be buying Windows 7 this month.

Although I will have to purchase it and not get it free as you can Ubuntu,
you have to ask yourself this question. If Ubuntu is so great, why is it
free? Could there be a catch? Of course there is, there always is with
free products.

The answer is, because they cannot give it away in the first place. That is
why Ubuntu will never be able to compete with the big boys.

I hope this little insight now explains why Ubuntu is just a toy and it will
always need sales trolls as Alias is, to work so hard and try in vain to
shift some of the sales for this product.

In that case my answer would be, they give it away because they cannot sell
it on a meaningful scale.
Insight ? Where ? Trying to crack a joke, and failing, is not called
'insight'.
Click to expand...

I was not cracking a joke Dano but delivering the mere facts before you.
Therefore this is an *insight* to the truth and the facts.

It is like this Dano. Imagine there are hundreds of people around you that
have said something and they are laughing uncontrollably. You suddenly sit
and think to yourself, what is funny about that? Or, where is the joke?

Then you turn around and gradually realise that you are the joke itself and
they were all laughing at you. Because you have not grasped the
comprehension of understanding the cryptic message put out there, just
because you think it's a joke and do not understand it, does not stop it
from being a genuine insight to the situation.

Sorry Dano, it was an insight combined with facts and truths.

Listen, stop preaching. Got off your high stool winfag and do something
useful.

Sorry stubby, I was just posting what I thought was an interesting insight
into certain facts and truths and contrary to what you say, I thought this
was very useful and interesting. Sorry you disagreed, but that is just a
cross I will have to bear.

Saila
 
I have to agree with Saila on this point. She put it in a very eloquent way
as basically saying it is crap.

I'm not surprised.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha

At first I thought you were serious, but then I realized, you're just
another whacked-out freak loser aren't you ?

Well let's see.....YES!!!!!!

How do I know ?........

You just posted a reply to your original thread using the posting name
Lisaa.

You've changed your posting name a bunch of times......

Saila, Lisaa, andy t, Mark Conrad, Goliath the Great, Brenda, RJK, Gil
Bates, Neville the Novice....what else ?

I don't think even *YOU* know who you are.

Unless they visit the Alias Computer Super Store in Spain where he charges
for Ubuntu! Then you will be taken for all you're worth.

No, I don't charge for Ubuntu. If you will turn your brain on, I usually
give the URL so people can download it. Here it is for you, right to the
download page:

<SNIP DISGUSTING LINK> Enjoy!

See, you just got it from me without paying one red cent.

I understand that most can download that INFERIOR OS, you know the FREE one
that nobody wants!

You scam people into ditching their working versions of Windows to install
that crappy Ubuntu.

They come begging for me to nuke Vista and install Ubuntu. I see you've
nymshifted again. Self esteem problem, sport?

They don't come begging to have Ubuntu installed. Remember you said that
most don't know what Ubuntu is. I believe they come to you for help and you
talk them into getting Ubuntu. Then once they are using that INFERIOR
Ubuntu, they feel embarrassed to come back to have it removed.

No self esteem problem, just part of the "Noble Mission" in this forum.
Just FYI.

Yawn, most of the Ubuntu installs I do come from word of mouth from
people happy with Ubuntu and telling their friends.

Nymshifting indicates a self esteem problem, not any noble mission.

If that is true, then that is the lowest of the low!

Having said all that, Ubuntu is really for the poor kids and orphans who do
not receive many presents at Christmas.

'another whacked-out freak loser aren't the you'

I see you are a little backward with your English phrases above. I would
rather be a whacked-out freak than a backward idiot.
I didn't say you are the lowest of the low, just that you're a whacko.

That's rich coming from a backward idiot.

Funny that MS is so worried about it then.
 
DanS said:
It's not backwards. 'aren't the you' should just be 'aren't you', but that
is an errant word, not backwards. Read the whole sentence, as one. If
anything, it's a run-on sentence.


Now that's rich, me the idiot. DOH!!

It was you with the multiple posting names, answering yourself agreeing
with yourself.....

....coming in here raving about DNS and crying about andy t being a
troll....

....and then finding out that you are andy t.

Shall I continue ?
Click to expand...

Please do. I find it quite amusing that you think that I am all these
people. LOL!

Not so, liar.

Ooh! That really got me! You little name caller you. I bet you're great
in the school playground. 'little liar little liar, pants are on fire'

Yes so, o biased one.

Not long to wait now.

I will reignite this conversation after the launch of Windows 7 and in the
months after that.

When we see the sales and popularity of that operating system, then we will
see who the liar is.

Happy hunting you devil. Scratch your eyes out!
